- Publication Series: Aunt Mavor's Picture Books for Little Readers, series 2 Pub. Series Record # 3581
-
Note: This 13-volume series reprinted all the stories in Aunt Mavor's Nursery Tales for Good Little People (1st ed., Routledge, 1855). The British Library dates the series as starting in 1856. Relying on the company address stated in the last volume, the entire series must have been printed by 1858. It is likely that Routledge issued the entire series simultaneously (as it did other similar children's series) so we date them all as 1856. Four volumes are not in the database (December 2016) as not meeting our definitions of speculative fiction:
- 1. Nursery Alphabet
- 7. Babes in the Woods
- 9. The Dog's Dinner Party
- 12. Butterfly's Ball (One WorldCat record of the single-volume collection, OCLC 1008126517 reports three of those titles as "The Nursery Alphabet", "Children in the Wood", "Butterfly's Ball (and) Grasshopper's Feast". For all 9 chapbooks in this database, its listings match the chapbook titles below.)
